wood officer’s spyglass: a classic and fascinating tool used by navigators and explorers. The essential instruments… the compass, the sextant and the spyglass. The spyglass consists of wooden cylinders that hold a lens and a system of lenses. It is reinforced with brass rings and fitted with a brass lens cap. To use it, extend the tubes (also known as ‘drawers’). The smallest tube is the one containing the eyepiece. Carefully adjust its length to focus the image.
